Is She A Blue Merle?

[maddiesmom]

I went and saw the cutest puppy today but I have a couple of questions:
1. Her body is black and white no tan. The tan is on her face. Is she considered a blue merle?

2. She has one blue eye and the other is brown. Is this normal?

We currently have three Sheltie furbabies. Am I crazy to consider a 4th?

the tan on tris and blue merles is generally on the face, legs and butt under the tail.
if she isn't all black but has splotches of lighter color than she would be a blue merle.
the blue eye would indicate that she is a merle.

a pic would be very helpful

She's probably a cryptic, there for a blue merle. Like Calliesmom said, a pic would help.

You may just be a little crazy to consider getting a fourth dog, but that would mean I'm crazy too! Haha! If I was offered Dixie back, I wouldn't be able to say yes fast enough! So I guess I'm ultra crazy!

If the dog is black and white with tan on her face then she'd be a Tri-color Sheltie. But you said she had a blue eye, so I'm assuming that she has grey on her too? Sounds like a Blue Merle to me. Let us know what color she matches from that webpage

There is a random blue eye mutation in our breed. It extraordinarily uncommon, but happens. More likely this is a merle with little merling.
